The idea for this has been in my head since watching the season three premiere of Eureka and it has been interfering my writing for When you're all alone, but I promise I am working on it. This chapter is basically to inform everyone about who many different characters in Eureka are, and to start with the basic storyline, of course. It is suggested that you at least watch the first two episodes of season three, the link can be found on my profile, but it isn't completely necessary, as I'm trying to explain most of it.
Everyone sat around the SUV waiting for Allison Blake to show up. Apparently, a body had been found in a town, but absolutely no details were given. Hodgins had gone over a million different conspiracy theories on why they weren't informed about the body, the crime scene, or the town. However, they had a seven hour flight, and then another three hour drive to where they were now. Along with another hour of waiting, Booth was just about to shoot each and every one of the squints. Lucky for the squints, they soon heard the footsteps of Allison coming towards them.
"Nice to see you all again," she smiled.
Booth sighed in relief, "You don't know how happy I am to see you."
She motioned everyone to stand around her to better explain things. "I've already gone over all of your files, and I know you are qualified to work confidential cases, however, this wouldn't be your normal classified case. What I am about to tell you, and show you, is top secret. No one outside of this town is to know anything."
"Conspiracy?!" Hodgins tossed his hands in the air.
Allison rolled her eyes, "I guess you could call it that, but I am serious. People have made their lives here. If what goes on throughout this town gets out, everything could be ruined."
Hodgins smiled slightly, "I guess I know what that is like."
"So," Allison sighed, "Can I trust you?"
Everyone gave their ascent and she directed everyone back into the car. They looked slightly confused, but obeyed. She squeezed into one of the seats and gave one more order.
"Drive across the bridge."
"WHAT?!" all of them screamed. The bridge Allison wanted them to go across was broken in the middle and would have dropped them off a huge cliff!
She laughed, "Trust me. If it was going to kill us, do you think I would do it?"
Booth began to inch forward, and Allison finally decided to make him go just a bit faster. She was a busy woman after all. She placed her hands next to the air conditioning vent and waiting for them to get cold. Once they were, she placed them quickly on his neck and he jumped, also sending the car forward with a burst of speed. Everyone but Allison closed their eyes in terror, but when the car came to a stop, they opened their eyes to see a town.
"Was that so hard?" Allison smiled as she got out the car.
They quickly followed her, and they were brought into Cafe Diem. Many of their stomachs growled at the smell of food. They sat at the booth and a man came over and asked, "What will it be?"
"Guys," Allison started, "this is Vincent. Vincent this is the team I'm positive either Fargo or Larry has been talking about."
"Um, Vincent? Don't you have a menu?" Booth asked.
"One rule here: you want it, you got it," he smiled.
"Hey," Hodgins laughed. "It's like Wong Fu's!"
They gave Vincent their orders and then someone walked in the door, stopping in their tracks once he saw Brennan.
"Dr. Brennan! It's a pleasure to meet you. I've read you're books, and I love them," he walked over towards them, and shook her hand.
Booth sent him a glare, but it was ignored as another man sat near them, "Larry, you read way too books." He also noticed that one of Temperance Brennan's books were in Larry's hand. "Tell me that that book doesn't control another killer drone."
"It's clean, Sheriff." Larry handed the Sheriff the book to let him see it for himself.
Allison rolled her eyes, "This is Larry Haberman, and Sheriff Jack Carter."
Vincent finished with their food and Allison started informing them about Eureka. "This is a town filled with geniuses from across the world. We work to solve most of the universe's mysteries, and make new discoveries and inventions. The killer drone that Sheriff Carter was talking about was a military attack drone that was supposed to be used for the Viper Simulation, but however, the Viper was destroyed by 'Martha', the killer drone and the 'Fixer' thought it was a huge financial hazard, so she wanted it destroyed. Lucky for Dr. Edison, we managed to find a way to keep her from destroying it."
"The Fixer?" Brennan asked.
"Eva Thorne. Apparently, she's a corporate killer, and we're trying to stay on her good side and not get everything destroyed at the same time, such as Martha."
"Tell me about the body," Brennan said.
"It was found in one of the unused labs at GD. It's completely bone. There's a few labs around it that you may feel free to use for your work."
"Has anyone gone missing in the past month?"
Allison bit her lip, "People go missing all the time. Whether its the underground tunnels or the biospheres, people get lost, or become mutant. Everyone usually shows up eventually."
Carter chuckled as he remembered the latest biosphere incident. Bob Nobb had disappeared and they found out that he and the rest of the people in that biosphere were experiencing evolution backwards.
"There's one other person I'm worried about," Allison hesitated. "I haven't heard from my fiancé, Nathan Stark in over a week "
"I had been wondering where he was," Carter said. "He's one of the few people I can argue all the time with."
"I'm serious, Carter!"
"Hey, I am too. Just saying I've been missing him too."
"If you say that he has only been missing for a week and the body is a skeleton," Brennan began, "It's unlikely that it's Nathan. It could easily take a few months depending on the environment of the room."
Allison smiled slightly, "That makes me feel a bit better, but we need to identify the body."
"Once I get my hands on the skull, I can draw a face," Angela spoke up. "Someone might be able to recognize whoever it is."
"Sounds good," Allison sighed. "How about I show you the skeleton?"
"Okay." Everyone stood up, and Booth said to Vincent, "Thanks for the food!"
"Come back anytime," he smiled as they made their way out, and went on their way to Global Dynamics.
